■ JTAG programming header (J61) is used for configuring the FPGA using an external USB-Blaster (not supplied) and the Quartus II Programmer.
The following sections describe each of these methods.
Embedded USB-BlasterFigure 2–4 shows the block diagram for the embedded USB-Blaster. The USB-Blaster is implemented using a USB Type-B connector (J60), a Future Technologies FT245BL USB PHY device (U79), and an Altera EPM240M100C4N MAX II CPLD. This allows the configuration of the FPGA using a USB cable directly connected between the USB port on the board and a USB port of a PC running the Quartus II software.
The embedded USB-Blaster is automatically disabled when an external USB-Blaster is connected to the JTAG chain at the JTAG programming header (J61).
Fast Passive Parallel DownloadFigure 2–5 shows the block diagram for the MAX II+Flash FPP configuration. This method is used for automatic configuration of the FPGA upon board power-up or reset with the configuration programming image stored in the flash memory. The FPP download controller is implemented within an Altera EPM240M100C4N MAX II CPLD (U72). This CPLD controller, together with the Numonyx PC28F00AM29EWL 1-Gb CFI NOR-type flash memory (U65), performs the FPP configuration upon board power-up or reset. The CPLD shares the flash interface with the FPGA. The configuration program select push-button, PGM_SEL, (S10) selects between two .pof files (factory or user) stored in the flash. The FPP controller uses the Altera Parallel Flash Loader (PFL) megafunction to configure the FPGA by reading data from the flash and converting it to FPP format. This data is written to the FPGA’s dedicated configuration pins during configuration.

Figure 2–5 shows the MAX II+Flash FPP configuration.
After a power-up or load event, the MAX II CPLD (U72) automatically configures the FPGA in FPP mode with either the pre-installed factory .pof file or a user .pof file. Additionally, three green configuration status LEDs (D39, D40, D41) indicate the status of the FPP configuration.
After configuration completes, you can determine which .pof image is loaded into the FPGA by observing the FACTORY_POF LED (D26) or the USER1_POF, USER2_POF, USER3_POF LEDs (D19, D20, D25).
JTAG Programming HeaderFigure 2–6 shows the schematic connections for the dedicated JTAG programming header (J61). This header provides another method for configuring the FPGA (U44) using an Altera USB-Blaster with the Quartus II Programmer running on a PC. The MAX II JTAG configuration jumper allows the MAX II CPLD device to be removed from the JTAG chain so that the FPGA is the only device on the JTAG chain.

Clock CircuitryThis section describes the clock tree structure for the Stratix IV GT 100G Development board.
Figure 2–7 shows the Stratix IV GT 100G development board clock circuitry.
The clock tree structure for the board is distributed into two—clock A and clock B. Clock A is for the Interlaken interface and clock B is for the line side interface. The PLL/buffer device (Si5338) sources both clock trees which is then distributed to the reference clock buffer (REF_CLK ) and to the differential clock buffer (DIFF_CLK). The DIFF_CLK buffer fans out the clock to dedicated clock inputs on the vertical I/Os of the FPGA. A third differential clock from the DIFF_CLK buffer goes to the single-ended clock buffer (SE_CLK). The SE_CLK buffer distributes the clock to every side of the FPGA.
The REF_CLK for clock A tree structure distributes its input clock to transceiver block 1 and 2 on the right side of the FPGA (or left side of the die). The REF_CLK for clock B tree structure distributes the clock to all four transceiver blocks on the left side of the FPGA (or right side of the die).

Chapter 2: Board Components 2–29General User Input/Output
Single-Ended ClocksThe single-ended clock buffers are located near the 644-MHz clock. Each single-ended clock buffer can use either a bench clock supplied to its SMA or the PLL clock from the on-board external PLLs. Refer to Table 2–12 on how to select between SMA or PLL using the board settings DIP switch.
General User Input/OutputThis section describes the user I/O interface to the FPGA and MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller, including the push-buttons switches, user LEDs, user DIP switches, and LCD. The I/O signals are connected between the FPGA and the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller to enable I/O expansion when necessary.
The MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller passes the I/Os from the FPGA to the I/O elements connected on the MAX II CPLD.
Figure 2–10 shows the general user I/O connection.
User Push-Button SwitchesThe development board includes eight push-button switches for user-defined logic input and one CPU reset. For information on the CPU reset push-button switch, refer to “Push-Button Switches” on page 2–21.
Board references S1-S4 and S5-S8 are push-button switches that allow you to interact with the MAX II CPLD device and the Stratix IV GT device. When the switch is pressed and held down, the device pin is set to logic 0; when the switch is released, the device pin is set to logic 1. There is no board-specific function for these general user push-button switches.

SFP+ InterfaceThe development board consists of two SFP+ interfaces. One SFP+ interface (SFPA) connects to the Stratix IV GT transceivers through an electronic dispersion compensation (EDC) chip. The EDC chip includes retimer devices which enable the SFP+ interface to achieve 11.3-Gbps. The second SPF+ interface (SFPB) does not have an EDC chip and connects directly to the Stratix IV GT transceivers. The SFP+ interfaces consist of one full-duplex 11.3-Gbps transceiver channel.
Table 2–30 lists the pin assignments for the SFP+ interface (SFPA) and their corresponding schematic signal names and Stratix IV GT pin numbers.

Ethernet RGMII InterfaceThe Stratix IV GT 100G development board incorporates a triple speed 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet RGMII interface.
The implementation uses an auto-negotiating Marvell 88E1111 Ethernet PHY (U66) with an RGMII interface to the FPGA and interfaces to an RJ-45 connector (J49) with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper lines with Ethernet traffic.
Figure 2–11 shows the RGMII interface between the FPGA and Marvell 88E1111 PHY.
Table 2–41 shows the Ethernet RGMII interface pin connection to the FPGA for the Ethernet PHY.

Power MeasurementThere are 12 power supply rails which have on-board voltage and current sense capabilities. These 8-channel differential 24-bit ADC devices and rails are split from the primary supply plane by a low-value sense resistor for the ADC to measure voltage and current. A serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus connects these ADC devices to the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller as well as the Stratix IV GT FPGA.
Figure 2–13 shows the block diagram for the power measurement circuitry.
Table 2–44 lists the development board power components and its manufacturing information.
